FBI, other agencies investigate graffiti threat against Omar

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are looking into a report of a threatening graffiti message directed at U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Omar retweeted a photo showing the words "Assassinate Ilhan Omar" which was posted to Instagram on Feb. 22. The Star Tribune reports the man who posted the photo wrote that he saw it written on a stall in the men's room at a Holiday gas station in Rogers.

The FBI in Minneapolis said Sunday the agency is looking into it along with other agencies.

Omar came under a fresh round of criticism Friday for remarks about Israel that critics decried as anti-Semitic.
